When Hubby did his third retirement at age 70 we did not regret one minute of that decision. He worked 30+ years in a research laboratory job (company downsized and offered a plan we could not pass up, so took the offer), then we chose to manage a small mobile home community (where we had lived for five years), and finally he took the CDL test to drive charter busses, and loved every minute of that last job .. we laughed and said that maybe he should have done that last job all along .. and he did feel good about taking the first retire offer since the research lab team he was on did develop a treatment for cancer which saved lives.
Began full-timing in our 28 ft. travel trailer in 2004, have had only a couple of bumps in the road since then, but have loved volunteering off and on for various agencies since then.
